Judge Bork

The title should be Justice Bork, but United States senators could not abide the idea of confirming a man that much smarter than themselves.

Judge Bork's message in his confirmation hearing was: "The orderly process of law, under the Constitution, is infinitely more important than the outcome of any given case, no matter how the case crumbles your political cookie. It is high time you guttersnipes started honoring that principle."

A moral man. RIP.

Congress has been trying to put SCOTUS in its proper place ever since Marbury v. Madison. They could not possibly let a person like Bork take a seat. JAGSC

Every time Scotus exasperates me (Obamacare, for instance), I force myself to think of Marbury.
